Nurembourg, Munich and home

We had sailed overnight to Nurembourg where we disembarked at 9:00am and drove south to Munich for our flight back to Birmingham. We did not see anything of either place which was a bit disappointing but many guest were having 3 nights in Prague to finish their holiday. 

We flew back via Frankfurt where we had a pizza for lunch and bought a few chocolates. The Mercedes was there to meet us for the drive home, we arrived at 7:00pm.

Regensburg rain

Today we should have been on a short walking tour of Regensburg but it is raining so we stopped on board again with the other chickens and packed the cases.  It seems we made the right decision from walkers who did walk the walk. We had interesting discussion with couples from Yorkshire and Florida.

We are currently on Main-Danube canal which connects North sea with Black Sea and climbing 12 locks on route to Nuremberg. All the locks are 12m wide x 190m long and the boat is 11.5m x 130m long. The deepest has a rise of 25m.
We still have the occasional castle on a hill to admire before the last dinner at 7:00pm and another few locks before arriving overnight in Nurembourg. Received our disembarkation papers and we leave for our flight from Munich at 8:45. Going back to Birmingham via Frankfurt.
